Chris Grainger (00:03):
Welcome to the Lion Within Us, a podcast
serving Christian men who arehungry to be the leaders God
intends you to be.
I'm your host, chris Granger.
Let's jump in.
All right, fellas, fun Fridaytime.
Are you excited?
You better be All right.
So I'm not sure if you've listedthis in the morning, if you are
maybe a little bit too muchenergy for you, but I'm
recording this in the afternoon.
I'm feeling good.
Let's go.
We're getting ready to Matthew18.
(00:25):
Okay, so Matthew 18 is wherewe're at this week.
One verse, verse 22.
Jesus said unto them I say notunto these up to seven times,
but until seventy times.
Seven, fellas, all aboutforgiveness.
This week we're talking aboutforgiving your neighbors.
That verse you need to simplifyand apply it, and here's a
simplify and an apply method.
(00:45):
It ain't about man, it's aboutforgiveness.
Always, always, lead withforgiveness.
Forgiveness does nothing butrob you of joy.
Now, I spent a lot of time onour spiritual kickoff, as well
as the main episode this week,talking about forgiveness.
What does that look like?
How can you actually apply thatto our life?
(01:07):
So, guys, you got no excuses atthis point.
Go back and listen to those twoepisodes.
Really unpack that in depth togive you some insight, give you
some wisdom, to give you somediscernment, to help you
understand what true forgivenesslooks like.
Okay, go back, check that stuffout.
We'll love your feedback onthose.
Let me know, are you enjoyingthat format?
(01:28):
Usually once a month, will wegive you a little bit of deeper
drop in the plow?
Just go a little bit with somemore scripture.
We'll love your insight on that.
Okay, now let's get into ourtips.
We've got a health tip, wealthtip, self tip Now remember,
health tip is your mind and yourbody.
Wealth tip is career andfinances.
Self tip is how to be a betterhusband, dad, and I try to tie
(01:51):
all three of these tips aroundthe idea of forgiveness in
general.
Okay, so the first one, thehealth tip Forgive yourself
first.
Let me say that again Forgiveyourself first.
Think about this when you flyon a plane I'm actually getting
ready to head out on a flighthere in a day or so when you fly
(02:14):
on a plane, they go through theinstructions of how to take
care of yourself and somethinghappens on the air flight.
The first thing they tell youis before you can help anyone,
you need to put that oxygen maskon yourself.
Right.
Why?
Because if you don't have thatmask on and you go to try to
help others, well, you're goingto have your own issues and
(02:35):
you're going to be ineffective.
And I see too many guys out herewho say I've done too much
wrong, I'm bad, I'm no good, I'mno count, I'm like bro.
No, no, that is not true.
That's lies from the evil one.
You need to cast that stuffback to the pits of hell, where
it belongs.
You are a blood ball believer.
Jesus loves you, god loves you.
(02:57):
You have value.
Forgive yourself.
You can't keep beating yourselfup.
It's all it's doing is robbingyour joy out of your day, out of
your life, and Satan wants youto stay there.
He does not want you to forgiveyourself.
He wants you to think thatyou're wretched, that you're
wicked, that you're no good.
(03:18):
You need to rebuke all that.
Bring all that back to thegates of hell, where it belongs,
and start forgiving yourself.
It's okay, You're going to makemistakes.
Extend yourself some grace forcrying out loud and forgive
yourself.
So what?
You made a mistake and it costyou $5,000.
(03:41):
I don't know.
Let's just make something.
Let's make this.
Let's say it's monetary.
You know what, in the bigscheme of things, in the big
scheme of life, is that reallygoing to be Something that you
remember 20 years from now?
Why not?
How you respond to that, thatprobably does matter, as people
are watching.
(04:02):
So you need to make sure to beable to extend forgiveness to
others.
You've got to forgive yourselffirst, bro, so really think
through that.
Okay, how can you forgiveyourself first?
Now, wealth tip.
I want you to just think abouthow you can forgive yourself of
previous financial decisions.
(04:24):
We've all made those badmistakes, right?
Like geez, louise, you had tobuy us some more.
It's like I cannot believe Ibought that, right.
Maybe you get home and youbought it after buying that
brand new truck.
You could not wait to get it.
You get that first payment.
You're like no, bro, I didn'tneed that, I didn't need that, I
get it, I get it.
We all make bad mistakes.
You can do stupid with money.
(04:45):
I have done stupid with money.
Okay, what we need to do islearn, forgive ourselves and
move forward.
That's what being a goodsteward is all about.
So look, it's not just sayingyou know what, I'm a willy nilly
making no stupid mistake withfinances and ask for forgiveness
.
No, that's saying look.
When you truly are made amistake, forgive yourself, okay,
(05:10):
and make amends there.
Now think about this If you'rea willy, if you actually lend
money to others, maybe you needto forgive some debts to people
of you.
I'm not saying that's the case,but there's an opportunity for
a ministry to share the goodnews of the gospel with others,
and I just extending forgivenessto someone who maybe doesn't
(05:30):
deserve it, right?
So think about that.
Who are there?
Areas that people you need froma debt standpoint that you need
to consider forgetting, andalso forgive yourself from those
bad financial decisions,because you're gonna make them.
That's just.
You're human.
We're gonna make bad financialdecisions.
But just walking around reelingand just beating up shows up
(05:50):
all the time does not serve usguys.
Make sure that you areforgiving yourself in that area,
particularly around finances,so that you can move forward to
be the steward he's called youto be.
All right.
Now the self-tip Again.
This is husbands and dads.
Okay, really good conversationwith my wife on this one.
(06:11):
Don't be hysterical orhistorical.
When you're forgiving others,okay.
Now here's the deal Like.
We get into arguments, you getinto discussions or whatever it
may be, and all of a sudden, ifyou find yourself and the voice
is getting elevated and you getall amped up.
Well, all of a sudden youbecome hysterical, you're not
thinking right.
So you better stop.
You're not gonna be able toforgive that way.
(06:31):
Or you get into that argumentand you bring up things that
happened back in 2006.
One, don't be a bad girl, don'tyou remember, girl, 20 years
ago, when you said this?
And I'm still upset about it?
Right, that's being historical.
Can't do that.
True forgiveness is nothysterical or historical.
True forgiveness is just that.
(06:52):
It's forgiveness with love.
So if you find yourself gettingall amped up or getting injured
, or starting to think about, orthinking about all the things
that are happening in your lifewhere you just want to forgive
others, where you can't forgiveothers, and you just wanna keep
bringing up these things thathappened and over and over and
over, and you just can't forgive, that's not gonna serve you
(07:15):
well at all.
So be careful here, fellas.
This is an area of our lifethat we can't control.
You can control your emotionsand, as the man, if you're
leading your household, theweight, the words you use, your
actions you take, the words youspeak, all that stuff matters.
So I'm telling you, it mattersbig time, okay, so be careful
(07:35):
that you're not becominghistorical or Asterical when it
comes to forgiveness.
So there you three tips.
Your health tip will tip andself tip.
That help was forgive yourselffirst, guys, you need to pay
attention to that one.
Forgive yourself first, takesome action there.
Wealth tip forgive yourprevious financial decisions.
We've all done stupid withmoney.
Don't.
Don't keep bringing it up.
(07:56):
Don't make the same mistakesover.
Live, learn, move forward.
And your self tip don't behysterical or Historical when it
comes to forgetting.
Got it Alright, fellas.
Now look for the week.
Now, full disclosure.
I have not read this book.
My good friend, adam sheets, bythe way, for this episode I'm
reporting in his studio.
(08:16):
We were actually trying to sellour, our house, or I couldn't
get access to my studio.
He graciously allowed me to usehis, his setup today Record a
couple episodes with you guyssee this one, or maybe a
previous episode.
That's because we were batchingsome episodes here in his
studio.
So very gracious for him.
And this is a book that Adam'sactually working through.
(08:37):
It's called good boundaries andgood vibes, okay, loving others
without losing the best who youare.
So this is a very good book.
He's been.
He's really has been enjoyingit, pointing me to this.
They talks about five factorsto remember when you implement
healthy boundaries.
It's talks about determine theappropriate amount of personal
(08:58):
and emotional access someone hasto you, based on how
responsible they'll be with thataccess.
Okay, so just being careful whoyou let speaking to your life.
This talks about stop beingmisled and emotionally paralyzed
by wrongly interpret orweaponized scriptures.
So making sure that the wordagain is used in the right way
for for building, for correcting, for rebuking, and not to tear
(09:20):
us down.
It's been, says, it's here.
Be equipped to say goodbyewithout guilt.
When a relationship has shiftedfrom difficult to destructive,
it's no longer sustainable.
So I'm gonna say what?
That is a very important Idon't consider right there.
Okay, it's too many times wehang on to relationships because
they just been there forforever and that relationship is
(09:40):
not serving you.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Are you just holding on justcause you just wanna hold on?
That's probably not.
That's not good advice.
That's not good leadership.
Okay, sometimes the best thinga leader can do is just go ahead
and break that tie.
You know.
You try to correct it.
You do.
You do all you can to reconcile.
Reconciliation doesn't exist.
(10:01):
You gotta move forward.
Gotta good leader recognizesyou know what this path here is
not fruitful.
I need to do it about face.
Go this direction.
That's what it's all about.
So again, check this book out.

okay, but really, how canforgiveness extend beyond the
limits we set?
We put limits on everythingright.
We even put limits on God.
We put God in a box.
You can't tell me you don't putGod in a box.
You know why?
Because I put God in a box.
Sometimes we gotta take Him out, because we can forgive
extravagantly when we forgiveGod's way.

I'm your host, chris Granger.
Let's jump in.
All right, fellas, fun Fridaytime.
Are you excited?
You better be All right.
So I'm not sure if you've listedthis in the morning, if you are
maybe a little bit too muchenergy for you, but I'm
recording this in the afternoon.
I'm feeling good.
Let's go.
We're getting ready to Matthew18.
(00:25):
Okay, so Matthew 18 is wherewe're at this week.
One verse, verse 22.
Jesus said unto them I say notunto these up to seven times,
but until seventy times.
Seven, fellas, all aboutforgiveness.
This week we're talking aboutforgiving your neighbors.
That verse you need to simplifyand apply it, and here's a
simplify and an apply method.
(00:45):
It ain't about man, it's aboutforgiveness.
Always, always, lead withforgiveness.
Forgiveness does nothing butrob you of joy.
Now, I spent a lot of time onour spiritual kickoff, as well
as the main episode this week,talking about forgiveness.
What does that look like?
How can you actually apply thatto our life?
(01:07):
So, guys, you got no excuses atthis point.
Go back and listen to those twoepisodes.
Really unpack that in depth togive you some insight, give you
some wisdom, to give you somediscernment, to help you
understand what true forgivenesslooks like.
Okay, go back, check that stuffout.
We'll love your feedback onthose.
Let me know, are you enjoyingthat format?
(01:28):
Usually once a month, will wegive you a little bit of deeper
drop in the plow?
Just go a little bit with somemore scripture.
We'll love your insight on that.
Okay, now let's get into ourtips.
We've got a health tip, wealthtip, self tip Now remember,
health tip is your mind and yourbody.
Wealth tip is career andfinances.
Self tip is how to be a betterhusband, dad, and I try to tie
(01:51):
all three of these tips aroundthe idea of forgiveness in
general.
Okay, so the first one, thehealth tip Forgive yourself
first.
Let me say that again Forgiveyourself first.
Think about this when you flyon a plane I'm actually getting
ready to head out on a flighthere in a day or so when you fly
(02:14):
on a plane, they go through theinstructions of how to take
care of yourself and somethinghappens on the air flight.
The first thing they tell youis before you can help anyone,
you need to put that oxygen maskon yourself.
Right.
Why?
Because if you don't have thatmask on and you go to try to
help others, well, you're goingto have your own issues and
(02:35):
you're going to be ineffective.
And I see too many guys out herewho say I've done too much
wrong, I'm bad, I'm no good, I'mno count, I'm like bro.
No, no, that is not true.
That's lies from the evil one.
You need to cast that stuffback to the pits of hell, where
it belongs.
You are a blood ball believer.
Jesus loves you, god loves you.
(02:57):
You have value.
Forgive yourself.
You can't keep beating yourselfup.
It's all it's doing is robbingyour joy out of your day, out of
your life, and Satan wants youto stay there.
He does not want you to forgiveyourself.
He wants you to think thatyou're wretched, that you're
wicked, that you're no good.
(03:18):
You need to rebuke all that.
Bring all that back to thegates of hell, where it belongs,
and start forgiving yourself.
It's okay, You're going to makemistakes.
Extend yourself some grace forcrying out loud and forgive
yourself.
So what?
You made a mistake and it costyou $5,000.
(03:41):
I don't know.
Let's just make something.
Let's make this.
Let's say it's monetary.
You know what, in the bigscheme of things, in the big
scheme of life, is that reallygoing to be Something that you
remember 20 years from now?
Why not?
How you respond to that, thatprobably does matter, as people
are watching.
(04:02):
So you need to make sure to beable to extend forgiveness to
others.
You've got to forgive yourselffirst, bro, so really think
through that.
Okay, how can you forgiveyourself first?
Now, wealth tip.
I want you to just think abouthow you can forgive yourself of
previous financial decisions.
(04:24):
We've all made those badmistakes, right?
Like geez, louise, you had tobuy us some more.
It's like I cannot believe Ibought that, right.
Maybe you get home and youbought it after buying that
brand new truck.
You could not wait to get it.
You get that first payment.
You're like no, bro, I didn'tneed that, I didn't need that, I
get it, I get it.
We all make bad mistakes.
You can do stupid with money.
(04:45):
I have done stupid with money.
Okay, what we need to do islearn, forgive ourselves and
move forward.
That's what being a goodsteward is all about.
So look, it's not just sayingyou know what, I'm a willy nilly
making no stupid mistake withfinances and ask for forgiveness
.
No, that's saying look.
When you truly are made amistake, forgive yourself, okay,
(05:10):
and make amends there.
Now think about this If you'rea willy, if you actually lend
money to others, maybe you needto forgive some debts to people
of you.
I'm not saying that's the case,but there's an opportunity for
a ministry to share the goodnews of the gospel with others,
and I just extending forgivenessto someone who maybe doesn't
(05:30):
deserve it, right?
So think about that.
Who are there?
Areas that people you need froma debt standpoint that you need
to consider forgetting, andalso forgive yourself from those
bad financial decisions,because you're gonna make them.
That's just.
You're human.
We're gonna make bad financialdecisions.
But just walking around reelingand just beating up shows up
(05:50):
all the time does not serve usguys.
Make sure that you areforgiving yourself in that area,
particularly around finances,so that you can move forward to
be the steward he's called youto be.
All right.
Now the self-tip Again.
This is husbands and dads.
Okay, really good conversationwith my wife on this one.
(06:11):
Don't be hysterical orhistorical.
When you're forgiving others,okay.
Now here's the deal Like.
We get into arguments, you getinto discussions or whatever it
may be, and all of a sudden, ifyou find yourself and the voice
is getting elevated and you getall amped up.
Well, all of a sudden youbecome hysterical, you're not
thinking right.
So you better stop.
You're not gonna be able toforgive that way.
(06:31):
Or you get into that argumentand you bring up things that
happened back in 2006.
One, don't be a bad girl, don'tyou remember, girl, 20 years
ago, when you said this?
And I'm still upset about it?
Right, that's being historical.
Can't do that.
True forgiveness is nothysterical or historical.
True forgiveness is just that.
(06:52):
It's forgiveness with love.
So if you find yourself gettingall amped up or getting injured
, or starting to think about, orthinking about all the things
that are happening in your lifewhere you just want to forgive
others, where you can't forgiveothers, and you just wanna keep
bringing up these things thathappened and over and over and
over, and you just can't forgive, that's not gonna serve you
(07:15):
well at all.
So be careful here, fellas.
This is an area of our lifethat we can't control.
You can control your emotionsand, as the man, if you're
leading your household, theweight, the words you use, your
actions you take, the words youspeak, all that stuff matters.
So I'm telling you, it mattersbig time, okay, so be careful
(07:35):
that you're not becominghistorical or Asterical when it
comes to forgiveness.
So there you three tips.
Your health tip will tip andself tip.
That help was forgive yourselffirst, guys, you need to pay
attention to that one.
Forgive yourself first, takesome action there.
Wealth tip forgive yourprevious financial decisions.
We've all done stupid withmoney.

(07:56):
Don't make the same mistakesover.
Live, learn, move forward.
And your self tip don't behysterical or Historical when it
comes to forgetting.
Got it Alright, fellas.

and break that tie.
